Knight's Fork
"Just be warned that you will collect strange looks for laughing uncontrollably in public. " ~Shaiha http://loveromancesandmore.blogspot.com/2008/10/knights-fork.html
Knight’s Fork is deliciously racy and erotic. The whole novel revolves around sex!
You could compare Cherry’s novel to Laurell K. Hamilton’s Meredith Gentry series about fairies because the Princess Electra seeks to get pregnant just like Meredith does. Or you could compare the novel to the Twilight Saga with ‘Rhett being a virgin, sworn to a vow of chastity, similar to Edward’s chase behavior. Whatever parallels you draw, Cherry=2 0spins a great story.~Keira

I just finished reading Knight's Fork. What a wonderful read. The book had everything.
Intrigue, diplomatic dissimulation, misinterpretation of idioms and literary and pop cultural puns, genetics, speciesism, truth and legalism and sexual tension and erotic thoughts and dreams from beginning to end. Oh and of course space travel. What book has ever had more.
Your sense of humor had me laughing every moment I wasn't feeling empathy for Rhett and Electra in a galaxy full of draconian laws and honor. I look forward to reading Forced Mate, which I just picked up this afternoon along with Linnea Sinclair's Hope's Folly. Fantastic,
Ray ~Ray Getzinger
I am a fan of Rowena Cherry. No doubt about it. She's a stellar writer, and her worlds are incredibly intricate. Not to mention the fact that her Djinn Princes are mouth-wateringly hot and scrumptious.~ Brenna http://brennalyonsden.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&updated-max=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&max-results=50
“Another wacky and wicked romantic romp from the talented keyboard of Rowena Cherry! With her trademark droll humor, she attacks intergalactic politics, sets up a sizzling romance and throws in a colorful—and memorable—cast of characters that rivals the best that Monty Python ever produced. A wonderfully fun read.” ~Linnea Sinclair, RITA® award winning author of SHADES OF DARK
A total hoot! ~Linnea Sinclair

Insufficient Mating Material
Wonderful twists and turns! The irony of plots gone wrong and plain bad luck are a joy to read. And it doesn't end here. One of the ingenious things about this series is that the books fit together like puzzle pieces, building on each other to raise the tension from couple to couple.~ Brenna http://brennalyonsden.blogspot.com/2008/08/review-forced-mate-and-insufficient.html

5 Blue Ribbons. FORCED MATE is one of the best science fiction romances I’ve read all year. ~ Nicole Hulst, romancejunkies.com
5 Roses! FORCED MATE absolutely ROCKS! ~ Brenda Thatcher, EscapeToRomance.
I think Rowena's true skill is that she weaves this intricate world of aliens and sex just the same way J.K. Rowling weaves the world of Wizards.~Des DiFabio, bookclubqueen
Mating Net
It's a racy, razor edge of a tale, which will leave you amazed…. ~ Deborah MacGillivray, author of A Restless Knight

4 Stars. This prequel to FORCED MATE pits brother against brother. Both want to mate with the lovely Helispeta....This is a well-wrought and fast-moving tale.~ Donna M Brown, Romantic Times.
